Worship July 2016
Church Family,
I hope you have all had a great start to you’re summer! It has been a great season of ministry here at Oakhill, and I have thoroughly enjoyed worshiping with you all. We have seen God do great things, and we are looking forward to seeing what God does as we push forward towards the Fall!
I wanted to share one great memory from the last few months with you, as I see God moving throughout our Church. A few weeks ago, our worship team here at Oakhill was leading the worship song, “Cornerstone”. As we approached the last verse of the song, the worship team was able to back away from the microphones, and all across our congregation, a swell of voices lifted these words,
“When He shall come with trumpet sound,
O May I then, in Him, be found,
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.”
I remember standing onstage in that moment, and praying to God, “Thank you God that our Church loves to sing.” As your Worship Pastor, it’s such a joy to join in with your voices Sunday after Sunday to proclaim God’s truth, and sing his praises. Psalm 100:1-2 says, “Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness, come before Him with joyful songs!” I want to encourage all of us, keep singing, keep worshipping, and let’s use our lives to point to the Glory of God. Come and join us on Sunday, as we join our voices, to glorify God together.
In Christ,
Jared
